Award Winner of 'Eco-Cabin of the Year for NSW' and one of 'The Most Secluded Waterfront Getaways on the Northern Beaches' [*Concrete Playground], Cape Mackerel Cabin is perched on the cliff of Mackerel Beach with expansive views sweeping from Palm Beach to the Central Coast. The Cabin is nestled in a tranquil bushland setting where Ku-ring-Gai National Park meets Pittwater. The sun-drenched house is a short boat trip from Palm Beach - this is a treehouse that both adults and kids can relish....

We can also arrange a 'Sherpa' / carrier service in case you want to pre-order food supplies / drinks to be brought up prior to your arrival for a small fee. Most guests don't use this service, but we are happy to help when / if the need arises (it does take some pre-planning re: online deliveries and from a co-ordination perspective).

PLEASE NOTE
We are a family with a toddler (2 years of age) and are reasonably athletic and fit and have no troubles getting to our beloved weekend cabin. We have had visitors ranging from young families with babies ranging from 2 months to 3 years, to baby boomers (of average fitness) in their late 60s who have found the ascent and beach crossing fine.

If you are unfit, have health concerns, or suffer from injuries, this is probably not the property for you as it does involve a beautiful 300 metre beach crossing, followed by a mesmerising view as you ascend 128 small stairs (good for your health tracker) when you find yourself at our front door.

The right preparations will make the 10 minute journey from the jetty comfortable. We have a couple of good backpacks (Patagonia and Filson) which keeps our hands free for our toddler and enables maximum volume and weight to be carried to the house. You can also borrow (and return) a wheelbarrow on the shore to help with the 300m beach crossing.

A couple of things to note about the house: as we are secluded in the beautiful National Park of Ku-ring-Gai we operate on tank water and as such as very mindful of water use. We have several filters to ensure the water is as pure as possible (and given the Eucalyptus leaves on roofs and water collection points a tannin stain is sometimes visible in the water). As such we make bottled water available for you.

We are also on a septic system, so again encourage you to be environmentally conscious and limit your showers to a maximum of 5 minutes each (you also have the choice of a beautiful refreshing swim in Pittwater).
